I’ve come to enjoy working in Economic Development because I find it to be good and noble work. It supports human dignity by creating an opportunity for good jobs. It fosters the common good of the community.

And when its benefits and opportunities flow to all, especially those most in need, then economic development is not only good work, but a true ministry.

We must hold on to that vision and resist the cynicism, negatives and frustrations that can sometimes creep in.

The Cunningham Center for Leadership Development (CCLD) at Columbus State University are all about designing the future and The Chamber is proud to be a part, in a small way helping to support this great organization.
